Reflection:
This standard involved me using the internet to gather information for a specific task, and evaluating the site that I used. I always search the internet to do papers or get information on a topic. Majority of the times I am satisfied with the site because it provides me the things I need. Then other times I feel that site does not have the accurate information that I want, or it is limited in the information that it provides. When using the internet to find information I usually use search engines such as Yahoo, Ask, and Google. It is fairly simple to use because all I have to do is type in specific key words that will automatically direct me to sites equivalent to my request. Within the first two websites I was able to retrieve enough information to produce my PowerPoint slides. The last three sites pretty much contained the same things as the last two. That was sort of a downfall because you are looking to gain more info, and when the sites become repetitive you are limited to what you wanted.
